the world needs more mainframers
It’s a simple law of supply and demand: The talent pool for mainframe technologies is diminishing, while demand for mainframe systems is growing. The result? Organizations lack the in-house skills or knowledge to manage a complex mainframe environment which is running mission-critical applications.
The solution: Mainframe Academy with CA Technologies.
Mainframe Academy is an accelerated, vendor-agnostic program that arms your IT professionals with core programming skills to manage your mainframe environment.
Mainframe Academy with CA Technologies allows organizations to:
